The first race of the card is the DragonBet Proud Sponsors Of Ffos Las Racing Restricted Maiden Stakes, with just four runners to kick things off. Hollie Doyle will be hoping to get off the mark with a win on Asinara, with a recent strong showing on good ground at Leicester eleven days ago resulting in a second-place finish.

Then, next up at 7pm is the Tax Assist Accountants Llanelli / EBF Maiden Stakes, which is a 6f Class 5 race for two-year-olds. Lakers has credible claims having had a run out at Yarmouth earlier in the month which resulted in a third-placed finish, but the untested Baather is well thought of, and Rossa Ryan will hope to earn a maiden win for trainer Clive Cox.
